For the second time, every player' but one or two In the La Grande contingent was up in the air, and they were up there a long ways. Everything was reversed, to what It has been heretofore. Instead of La Grande doing almost perfect team work, warm pitching and spectacular hit ting, It was Pendleton who . did all these things. It was Pendleton that made eight hits In the fifth Inning, and It was Pendleton that got nine runs In the same Inning. It was Pendleton that placed its hits with remarkable skill, so remarkable !n fact, that no man on earth could have brought down half of them. Put it was La Grande, that let McConl, the nifty sprinter, steal homo from first base. The fans had a tender feeling for La Grande untl' that Inning, but after that there' was nothing to,' It. Fan were up screeching for McCool when they saw Van Horst's vain attempt to get Chllders' heave from Infield, and saw the outfield Juggling the ball, The incident Illustrates quite clearly how La Grande was playing. It has been Fuchel here and Fu chel there until the boy was out of trim for throwing. Even after he had been slaughtered In the fifth and Cot teman went In, the Pets continued their swatting. La Grande got one score though It was on a passed ball that hit the grandstand. .If we re member right, the sedVc was IS to 1 Only once before hr.:i Ornnde acted at all like that. - It wns with Baker City some time i:vvevcr. we have heard of the K'.'-ini! and American teams going -to pL.cs occa xlonally. Grandstand Xotes. What's the matter with thcrn Pen dlctor.s, anyway? The balloon went up Immediately. Fine ascension. One of the fans was heard to mourn because he let slip a chance -to win 120 by betting on Pendleton. Strike three. Tou're out. Rotten! notten! Johnny, come on, now What's the matter with yon? Don't be - dlxoouraned. Johnny. You'll pull out yet. Ah, shut up! Come out of It. you robber! Tha man's not out. But Umpire Tlce says he likes It. BVSSKY IX NEW STAND.
